Handbook - Oregon Seed Certification Service

Transcription

A Century of Oregon Certified Seed
Oregon Seed Certification Services is proud to celebrate with you, 100 years of inspecting and certifying quality seed for our prospering state of Oregon. This yearly handbook would not have been developed if not for the early work of the two seed certification pioneers depicted on the back cover. E.R. Jackman on the left and George Hyslop on the right (both in their early and later years) were essential in developing how seed was to be certified in Oregon. Starting with seed potatoes in 1916, and quickly following with wheat in 1918, George Hyslop saw the need to ensure that farmers were receiving the class and quality of seedstock, free of weeds, and diseases that they needed to improve their yields. In those first years, George Hyslop did all of the inspections, and later E.R. Jackman traveled the state making inspections of potato and grain fields, with many others involved in OSU Extension following after that. As the program developed it received legal status in 1937 under Oregon law 437. And on September 5 , 1945 the first certification committee was established with E.R. Jackman as the Certification Committee Chair. Hyslop and Jackman’s emphasis on the educational and extension aspects of seed certification have been the basis of the seed certification program since the beginning and continues to this day.
th
Since those early years, the program in 2015, had expanded to 248,643 acres of 82 different crop types and more than 1000 varieties in active production. The seed produced is cleaned in 360 certified warehouses across the state, and handled by 406 individual contractors. The crop emphasis has changed with 83% of certified production being turf and forage grasses, 11% small grains, 3% potatoes, and 3% all other crops. This tremendous increase in certified acres occurred because of the many people in the Oregon seed industry who are committed to maintaining a quality seed product, with one part of that being Oregon certified seed. Many of you have participated in the various Oregon Seed Certification Service advisory committees, boards, and other meetings to help this industry maintain a high quality and respected certification program. We at the Oregon Seed Certification Service, thank you for your interest and involvement in developing this program, and please join us in celebrating the achievements we have made together through many efforts over this past century!
Sincerely,
Dennis Lundeen Manager, Oregon Seed Certification Service

2016 Oregon Certified Seed Handbook and Crop Standards Changes
Approved during the *Certification, Foundation Seed and Plant Materials Board Meeting
on 2/16/16
1. Adopt new crop standards for Industrial Hemp—Handbook p. 44.
2. Accept the proposal to ensure a 95% minimum ploidy level of OECD precontrol annual ryegrass seed stock, both diploid and tetraploid. If a precontrol sample fails upon receipt, the seed would be ineligible for further
certification. Revised Annual Ryegrass standards—p. 46.
3. Accept the Corn standard update to insert the words, “Where pollen parent
border rows are ineffective or missing, effectively shedding pollen parent
rows within the field may be used in accordance with Table 1 to determine
the isolation distance correction in the seed parent.”
4. Accept Small Grains standard updates as follows:
a. To insert into the standard the words, “Mechanical separations,
genetic isolation zones, and other excluded areas of a seed field
must be designated by physical markings placed in the field that are
easily observed and readily recognized to be designating a
boundary.
See also:
http://seedcert.oregonstate.edu/sites/default/files/publications/guideline
s/smallgrainsisolation.pdf .
b. To add the following words to the Seed Standards table: “ All wheat,
barley, and triticale seed lots will be tested for seeds per pound and
reported on the OSU Report of Seed Analysis”
5. Accept updated Appeal Procedures—Handbook p. 7
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Other information: there is a USDA required increase in OECD assessment
fees from $0.11/cwt to $0.14/cwt for Grasses Cereals, Legumes, Brassicas,
Beets, Sunflowers, Mixtures and other OECD Seed Schemes crops. Plus, an
increase from $0.20 to $0.26/cwt for Corn. These fee increases will take
effect on July 1st 2016, and are a “pass-through” fee to USDA-AMS for
administration of the US-OECD program.

Certification in Oregon is authorized by Revised Statutes 633.620, and 630. It is administered by the dean of the
College of Agricultural Sciences, Oregon State University and his appointed representatives. A certification
board, appointed by the dean of the College of Agricultural Sciences, develops and determines policy; accepts,
rejects, and deletes varieties from the certification program; evolves, modifies, and alters standards for
certification subject to the approval of the dean. The Certification Program is a service of the College of
Agricultural Sciences administered through the Oregon State University Extension Service. Certification is
divided into two projects. The Foundation Seed and Plant Materials Project is responsible for making available
sufficient improved planting stock to ensure a continuous supply of early generation material for later increase by
Oregon growers engaged in the certification program. The Certification Project is responsible for maintaining the
pedigree of superior varieties under a generation system by appropriate inspection and records to ensure that
genetically pure varieties are produced under the Oregon Certification program. County agricultural Extension
Agents are the certification representatives within counties. Application forms, lists of eligible varieties, and the
Oregon standards for seed certification can be obtained at each county extension office.
II. Purpose of Certification
The purpose shall be to provide a service to the public for the maintenance and increase of quality seed and
propagating material of varieties grown and distributed in such a manner as to ensure varietal purity through the
appropriate application of these rules.
III. Varietal Eligibility and Acceptance Requirements for Certification
Seed stock and propagating material must be approved by the Oregon State University Seed Certification Board
to be eligible for certification. Crop species not previously certified in Oregon must have Oregon Certification
Crop Standards established and approved, by the Board, prior to review or acceptance of a new variety through
the Oregon Experimental or Oregon Certification Variety Review Committee. Eligibility requirements for
certification of publicly and privately developed varieties are the same. In Oregon, certification does not imply
recommendation. Variety recommendations for the state of Oregon are the responsibility of staff members within
the College of Agricultural Sciences working in the area of the crops involved. Recommendations are based on
research data and knowledge of the variety under consideration.
A list of crops approved for certification in Oregon is prepared each year.
certification may be submitted from the following sources:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Varieties to be considered for
The Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station, after being approved by the New Crops Variety
Committee of the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station.
The Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with other public agencies.
Developments of other state or governmental agricultural experiment stations.
Private or commercial plant breeding programs.
A grower, breeder, or originator shall submit the appropriate form (obtained from the Seed Certification Service,
31 Crop Science Building, Corvallis, Oregon 97331-3003) to the Seed Certification Office to have a crop variety
considered for entry in the certification program. For newly developed varieties, this request must be submitted
one year prior to the time certification is desired. For varieties previously accepted by other certification or
regulatory agencies, this request must be submitted prior to the time of planting. At the time the request is
initiated, a two cup sample of stock seed must be submitted to the Seed Certification Service, 31 Crop Science
Building, Corvallis, Oregon 97331-3003.
Acceptance of a variety, developed through traditional or biotechnological means, for certification by the
Certification Board shall be based on the following information. (This information shall be considered
confidential):
1
A.
A statement by the person or firm requesting certification that the variety has been adequately tested to
determine its value and probable area of adaptation, that it merits certification, and that it is
distinguishable from other varieties as set forth in Article V of the International Code of Nomenclature of
Cultivated Plants, which reads as follows:
“The term cultivar (variety) denotes an assemblage of cultivated individuals that is distinguished by any
characters (morphological, physiological, cytological, chemical, or others) significant for purposes of
agriculture, forestry, or horticulture, and which when reproduced (sexually or asexually) retain their
distinguishing features.”
When any stock being presented for certification has been previously released under a different
designation, the Certification Board reserves the right to refuse further consideration until the
sponsoring breeder or originator files documentary evidence from the USDA Seed Branch indicating
that such a stock of seed is free to move in Interstate Commerce under the new designation being
proposed.
B.
A statement on origin and breeding procedure.
C.
A description of the morphological characteristics (such as color, height, uniformity, leaf, head, or flower
characteristics, etc.), physiological characteristics of value to field inspectors, and such other factors as
the breeder or sponsor considers pertinent to show uniqueness.
D.
Evidence of performance including data on yield, insect or disease resistance, turf, and other factors
supporting the value of the variety. These performance tests may be conducted by private seed firms
or Agricultural Experiment Stations and shall include appropriate check varieties that are used
extensively in the area of intended usage.
E.
A statement giving the probable region of adaptation and purposes for which the variety will be used.
This should include areas within states or countries where the breeder of the variety has tested the
variety and in which he or she anticipates recommending and merchandising it.
F.
Procedure for maintenance of stock seed classes shall be described. At the time a variety is accepted
for certification, a two cup sample of stock seed (class-designated) or sample of propagating material, if
requested, shall be presented to the certifying agency. The certifying agency can request a sample of
the stock seed or propagating material, at any time while the variety is in the certification program.
G. When varieties are reviewed for acceptance into the Oregon Certification program, a favorable report
from the appropriate national variety review boards and the Plant Variety Protection office will be
considered.
H.
For purpose of certification it will be assumed that all perennial ryegrass varieties are non-fluorescing
and all annual ryegrass varieties are 100 percent fluorescing. If contrary evidence is available; it may be
presented to the National Certified Grass Variety Review Board. The Board is to make its’ finding
available to the Administrator of the Federal Seed Act.
I.
A ploidy test must be conducted on all OECD Annual ryegrass pre-control samples as a condition of
acceptance into the OSCS program.
J.
Seed will be eligible for certification upon meeting the appropriate certification standards. Information
pertaining to the certification of a private variety will be made available only to the specified firm or
individual (owner/agent) upon written request to the Seed Certification Service.
K.
A variety may be deleted from the Oregon list of eligible varieties after several consecutive years of
non-certification. Upon receiving a request from the owner, agency, or breeder to discontinue
certification of a variety, a producer will be allowed nine months to sign up recently planted fields for
certification (seedling inspection). After this time no new fields will be accepted for certification.
Existing perennial fields will be allowed to complete their “life of stand” limitation established at time of
varietal acceptance. If no “life of stand” has been established for the variety a four calendar year limit
will apply.
2
IV. Production of Certified Seed
A. Application For Field Inspection
1.
Application for field inspection serves as notification, registration, and as an agreement to abide by
all rules and regulations governing certification in Oregon.
Where application for certification is made in the name of someone other than the individual or
organization that is physically doing the farming, a copy of the planting stock invoice must be
provided in addition to all certification tags at sign-up (invoice to include name of farmer, variety
and crop, poundage, lot number, generation, and date of invoice).
Inspections of certified fields are of two types, seedling and seed crop. Inspection of some annual
crops combines aspects of both seedling and seed crop. The application is made on the same
form as the seedling inspection.
A standard field number system will be year of planting followed by a hyphen and up to three digits
thereafter. No letters can be accepted.
2.
Seedling application and inspections are to be made on all perennial grass, annual ryegrass,
perennial legumes, and on all OECD crops. An inspection will be made at planting time on
vegetatively propagated grasses. An adequate map must accompany the seedling inspection form.
A seedling field will be checked for eligibility of Stock Seed, adherence to Land Requirements,
potential Isolation problems, presence of Prohibited Weeds, Field Management, and Location.
Application for seedling inspection must be submitted immediately after planting and no later than
60 days after seeding. All of the stock seed tags from seed used for planting should accompany
the seedling application; see Small Grain Seed Standards for requirements specific to that crop. In
case of a thin stand or stand failure, the seedling application and inspection may serve as a record
to substantiate declared land history and variety seeded for reseeding qualifications.
3.
Seed Crop Application and Inspection: The grower must apply for a seed crop inspection before
the specified deadline each year if a certified seed crop is to be harvested. A seed field will be
checked for eligibility (having a prior seedling inspection, or if an annual, stock seed and land
requirement eligibility), potential Isolation problems, presence of Prohibited Weeds, and Field
Management. A field will be checked for compliance with individual field standards listed for the
crop and items listed in the Handbook.
B. Stock Seed
1. The grower must plant eligible varieties of the proper class or generation. Documentary evidence of
the seed source (such as certification tag, sales record, etc.) must be furnished when applying for
certification. All planting stock tags are to accompany seedling applications.
2.
Four seed classes meeting or exceeding the standards of The Association of Official Seed
Certifying Agencies are used in Oregon seed certification: Breeder, Foundation, Registered, and
Certified.
a.
Breeder Seed is the original source of all classes of certified seed. It is stocked
directly, maintained, and controlled by the originating or sponsoring plant breeder or
institution, and provides the direct source of Foundation seed.
b.
Foundation Seed (White tag) is produced from fields planted with Breeder seed
(except potatoes). Oregon public varieties will be grown under the supervision of, or
under contract with, the Foundation Seed Project.
3
c.
Registered Seed (Purple tag) is produced from fields planted with Foundation seed.
In some varieties there is no Registered class — check the variety list in front of the
Handbook for this information.
d.
Certified Seed (Blue tag) is produced from fields planted with Registered seed or
Foundation seed if there is no Registered class. Exceptions to this are as follows:
Note: Limitations of Generations: The number of years and/or generations through which a variety
may be multiplied shall be limited to that number specified by the originating breeder or owner of
the variety, and shall not exceed two generations beyond the Foundation class with the following
exceptions:
a. Recertification of Certified class of seed may be permitted for older varieties where
Foundation seed is not being maintained.
b.
The production of an additional generation of the Certified class may only be
permitted on a one-year basis, when the certifying agency declares an emergency
prior to the planting season, stating that the Foundation and Registered seed supplies
are not adequate to plant the needed certified acreage of the variety. The permission
of the originating or sponsoring plant breeder, institution, firm, or owner of the variety,
if existent, must be obtained. The additional generation of Certified seed produced to
meet the emergency need is ineligible for recertification.
3.
Stock Seed Increase of an Experimental Line: The field increase of stock seed to be used for
experimental purposes may be examined by the Seed Certification personnel, provided such a
request is made, including a brief variety description, before planting. A request for Experimental
Variety status will be allowed for a production period of three years only in the Oregon certification
program. An additional one-year extension for the production of Experimental Seed will be
allowed, upon written request by the originator, for extenuating circumstances. An appropriate tag
will be issued to declare the intended use of the seed for experimental purposes. This tag will not
imply that the experimental line has been accepted into the certification program. Fees for this
service are the same as for certification services.
4.
Substandard Seed: Seed that fails to meet certification requirements of genetic purity is not eligible
for tagging. At the discretion of the certifying agency, seed that fails to meet requirements of
factors other than genetic purity may be designated substandard and tagged. The reasons for
substandard classification must be shown on the tag. Seed that could be re-cleaned to meet
minimum seed standards cannot be tagged in this manner.
5. The Foundation Project within reason shall produce or purchase sufficient stock material to meet the
demands of the certified seed producer.
C. Land Requirements
The seed must be planted on clean land. Crops must be planted in distinct rows. Exceptions must be
approved by the Seed Certification Office prior to planting. The land must not have been previously
planted to or have grown another variety or class of seed that might volunteer and affect genetic purity.
Adding manure or other contaminating amendments may constitute a basis for not meeting land
requirements. The land for the production of legumes must have been free of volunteer plants of the
crop kind during the year immediately prior to establishment.
1.
The land history must not have included another variety or class of seed that would be a source of
volunteers from seed in the soil. The duration between classes and varieties is based on longevity
of viable crop seed in the soil. Specific land history and planting procedure requirements are
established for each crop, variety, and class of seed.
2.
Modification of land history may be approved by the Seed Certification Office when a cultural
practice has proven to be successful. Cultural practice may include mechanical means such as
4
deep plowing and/or chemical means such as fumigants or other material for seedbed preparation.
Materials and methods must be a matter of record. Whichever method is used, it must be
approved and adequate to maintain varietal purity. Modified Land History (MLH) will be permitted
on all certification generations. The field must be out of production of the same crop for at least
one winter. For crops/generations requiring five years out of the same crop, MLH can reduce this
requirement to a minimum of three years with conventional tillage, or two years for certified Annual
ryegrass production if continuous no-till is the field history since the previous Annual ryegrass. To
aid in distinguishing between volunteers and the crop seeded, the seed must be planted in distinct
rows but may vary in row spacing.
3.
Volunteer plants may arise from seed of another class or variety, or from vegetative portions of a
plant (such as old crowns, stems, stolons, rhizomes, etc.). Volunteer plants, whether from seed or
from vegetative parts, may be cause for rejection or reclassification of a seed field.
D. Isolation
1.
Isolation: All fields used for the production of certified seed must have the minimum specified
isolation distances (see individual crop standards) from fields of any other variety of the same
species or closely related species unless of the same variety, generation, and certified, or as
modified by the 10% Rule or Border Removal rule (see below). Adequate distance between seed
crops must be maintained to prevent overlapping seed heads of lodged plants; this isolation
distance is called a mechanical separation.
2.
Isolation strip: The isolation distance determines the size of this strip, which may be located
adjacent to, or within the certified field. If adjacent, then the strip may be used to: (a) produce a
crop of another species, or (b) grow the same species but a different variety which then must be cut
prior to pollination (which may be subject to inspection; e.g., adjacent pasture or hay), or if within
the certified field, then (c) to grow the same variety and generation, but the crop in this strip must
remain standing to serve as a pollen trap until the certified crop has completed pollination (this is
an application of border removal; see below); seed from this strip must be harvested separately
and conditioned as uncertified.
3.
10% Rule: applicable to alfalfa and grass seed fields 5 acres or larger, Certified class only; fields
that have a “total isolation zone” of less than 10% of the entire field, require mechanical separations
only. An isolation zone is calculated by multiplying the length of the border, in common with other
varieties of the same kind, by the average width of the certified field falling within the required
isolation distance (usually 165 feet and measured from the edge of the contaminating pollen
source). All isolation zones in a field must be added together to determine the total isolation zone
for the entire field, therefore sum the total square footage in isolation zones and divide by 43,560
square feet/acre, then divide by the field acreage, and multiply by 100. If the total isolation zone is
less than 10% of the entire field, then only mechanical separations are required.
4.
Border Removal: applicable to grass seed fields 5 acres or larger, all generations. If it is not
possible to provide minimum required isolation distances between fields, and the seed field does
not meet the 10% Rule, then border removal is permitted. This is the removal, after flowering, and
as uncertified, of a portion of the seed field adjacent to the contaminating pollen source, as
indicated in the following table (See Table 1). Re-inspections in the field and warehouse may be
made to ensure the identity is maintained for seed from border removal strips.
5.
25% Rule: Fields of the same variety but of differing generations (“classes”) must be isolated by a
distance of 25 percent of that otherwise required between varieties. This standard is applicable to
all crops unless otherwise noted in the specific crop standard.

The Border to be removed from the certified field shall be clearly marked with an adequate number and height of
stakes (at least one every 300 feet and taller than the mature canopy height) so that the inspector can determine the
distance. Re-inspections are required due to inadequate or improper staking.
2
The required Border Removal is measured from the edge of the contaminating pollen source.
E. Field Management and Inspection
1. Field Management Prior to Field Inspection:
a.
The field shall be in such condition that genetic purity is maintained. Any condition
that shall not permit adequate inspection to determine genetic purity shall be cause
for rejection. Plant growth regulators may not be applied to legume seed production
fields of Foundation and Registered (or equivalent) classes of certified seed.
b.
Field or seedling identity shall be maintained throughout the life of the stand. In all
cases, a field number system is required. The field number designated by the grower
must be unique (i.e., two concurrent fields belonging to a grower may not carry the
same designation). A standard field number system will be year of planting followed
by a hyphen and up to three digits thereafter. No letters can be accepted.
c.
Roguing of objectionable weeds, other crops, and off-type plants difficult to separate
in cleaning should be done before inspection. Failure to rogue will constitute a basis
for refusal to approve for certification.
d.
The certification inspector may refuse to approve a field for certification due to
unsatisfactory appearance due to weeds, insufficient growth, inadequate stand,
disease, insect damage, and/or any condition that prevents thorough inspection or
that may reflect unfavorably upon the certification program.
e.
The certification unit is the entire field. When a portion of a field is to be certified; this
portion must be properly identified by a fence, ditch, other crops, mowed strip, or
adequate stakes. This boundary is to be approved by the inspector as to its
adequacy and may be subject to re-inspection.
f.
Evidence of seed-borne disease at the time of field inspection or presence of seedborne disease in the seed lot may constitute basis for rejection, reclassification, or
recommendation for seed treatment.
g.
The presence of smut balls in a seed stock field (Foundation or Registered class)
shall be basis for reclassification to the Certified class.
6
2.
Re-inspection: A seedling or seed field which fails to meet the minimum standards may be rejected
subject to re-inspection. The grower may apply for re-inspection, but must apply and have the
cause for rejection corrected before the deadline specified on the initial inspection form. There will
be only one re-inspection per field.
3.
Basis for Refusal to Inspect: The Oregon Seed Certification Service reserves the right to return
fees and refuse certification when:
a. The location of the field is such that inspection would be unduly expensive.
b.
A grower fails to follow the rules governing certification, including a failure to pay for
services previously rendered.
c.
Heavy weed infestation, lodging, etc., or storm, frost or other conditions beyond the
control of the grower do not permit satisfactory inspection.
d.
A field is harvested before inspection.
4. Appeal Procedures:
a. Appealing a Decision: If a grower disagrees with a decision rendered by the primary
inspector of the field, this decision may be appealed. The grower must file a letter or email
notice of appeal within 15 days of receiving notice of the decision. The appeal notification
should include the crop type, the variety and the certification field number. The letter of
appeal must be signed by the grower or the grower’s agent and forwarded to the Oregon
Seed Certification Service, 31 Crop Science Building, Corvallis, Oregon 97331 or
[email protected]. The grower must include with the appeal letter or email any
additional information that may be appropriate to the resolution of the appeal.
b. Appeal Process: When a notice of appeal is received by the Oregon Seed
Certification Service (OSCS) office, the Certification manager will review the notice of
appeal. If, in the judgment of the Certification manager a second inspection would assist in
resolution of the matter, he/she will instruct a second inspector to review the field or fields
in question when time, weather, and crop conditions still permit a valid assessment. The
Certification manager will review all relevant information held by the OSCS office and
determine whether or not the appeal needs to go forward. The Certification office will
notify the grower of the Certification manager’s decision and the reasons for the decision.
Within 15 days of notification of that decision, the grower must notify the OSCS office in
writing if the grower continues to dispute the decision. The OSCS office will then forward
as promptly as possible all information to the chair of the Certification Board, or his/her
representative for consideration by the Appeal Advisory Panel.
c. Appeal Advisory Panel and Notification: A confirmation notice letter or email will be
sent out by the OSCS office to the grower or grower’s agent who sent in the notice of
appeal. This will acknowledge that the notice of appeal has been received and that a
Certification Appeal Advisory Panel will be assembled. The grower must provide any
additional pertinent information in writing to the OSCS office within one week of the notice.
The Appeal Advisory Panel will be composed of Oregon certified seed growers and an
OSU Extension staff member when available. The recommendations by the Appeal
Advisory Panel members and all relevant information held by the OSCS office will be sent
to the OSU Dean of Agricultural Sciences for review. Once the Dean has made a decision,
a letter will be sent to the grower or grower’s agent who sent in the appeal letter explaining
the Dean’s decision. The Dean’s decision is final and is not subject to further appeals.

VI. Conditioning Certified Seed
The sampling and tagging of certified seed is coordinated under the auspices of the county extension offices. A
list of county extension offices is in the front of this Handbook and can be obtained from the Seed Certification
Office.
A. Inter-county or Interstate Seed Movement
1.
Identity of seed must be maintained during any seed movement.
2.
When seed that is eligible for certification, but not in condition for sale, is moved from one
warehouse to another, the Oregon Seed Certification Service Office must be notified.
3.
The Oregon Seed Certification Service must be notified when seed is shipped interstate.
At the discretion of the certifying agencies concerned, the seed may or may not be tagged
when moved between Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. When seed is moved for further
conditioning to other than contiguous states, it must be tagged. Any additional expense
incurred in such shipment must be paid by the party desiring the service.
8
B. Storage and Conditioning
1.
2.
3.
All warehouses conditioning certified seed must be inspected and approved.
a.
All warehouses conditioning or blending seed eligible for Oregon Certification shall be
inspected and approved by a representative of the Oregon Seed Certification staff.
Evidence of facilities and records to adequately maintain identity and separation of
varieties will be required.
b.
Applications for warehouse approval shall be filed with the Oregon Seed Certification
Service Office no later than four months prior to receiving seed that is eligible for
certification to allow time for inspection. Seed Certification can re-assign the code of
old warehouses that have been out of business for at least ten years or get
permission from the previous owners if it is less than ten years.
Identity, purity, and uniformity of certified seed must be maintained at all times.
a.
Lot uniformity is the responsibility of the seed conditioner. Appropriate steps in seed
storage, conditioning, and handling must be taken to assure uniformity.
b.
Mode of operation and facilities must be such that conditioning and/or storage is
performed without introducing admixtures. Evidence of varietal mixture in a seed lot
may constitute a basis for further investigation or rejection.
c.
Certified seed bags prior to sampling for seed quality must be identified with a
permanent lot number stenciled on each bag. In instances where stenciling is not
feasible; adhesive lot number identification tags may be allowed, with prior approval
by Oregon Seed Certification. The lot number must indicate the county of production,
warehouse number where seed was conditioned, year of harvest and with the last
part of the lot number assigned by the warehouse/conditioner for identification of
individual
lot.
Example:
B8-16-XXXX
where,
“B8”
represents
the
warehouse/conditioner number assigned by the Seed Certification Office, “16“
indicates the year the crop was harvested and “XXXX” represents the location where
the warehouse can assign their own identification number for specific lot identity.
Sewn on or attached lots numbered tags are not acceptable.
d.
Re-use of fifty pound polypropylene bags for conditioned grass seed may be allowed
for Oregon Certification with prior approval by Oregon Certification and may only be
used for internal handling of seed (contact Certification Office for current procedures).
Paper bags should not be re- used when a certification lot is re-cleaned. Bagged
Foundation or Registered cereal seed must be in new bags; bagged Certified class
seed must be in new or cleaned used bags. In all cases, the lot number must be
clearly visible and legible.
e.
Oregon lot size is regulated by State Seed Law on certain seed crops. See section
IX, E.
f.
OECD lot size: See section IX, G.
Bulk Containers.
a. Only clean bulk containers may be used in conditioning certified seed. Conditioned
grass seed is to be packaged in new containers. Re-use of bulk bags for conditioned
grass seed may be allowed for Oregon Certification with prior approval by Oregon
Certification (contact Certification Office for current procedures).
b. Bulk bags or boxes that will be transferred for further conditioning within Oregon
without stenciled lot numbers must obtain prior approval from Oregon Seed Certification.
9
4.
Complete records of all operations involving certified seed must be maintained and available to the
Oregon Seed Certification Service Representative.
5.
Prior approval to blend different growers’ lots of seed must be received from the Certification Office.
The blending request forms may be obtained from this office. See also Small Grains Certification
Standards, Special Requirements regarding commingling.
10
C. Sampling and Testing Seed
1.
After conditioning, a representative sample of each lot of seed considered for certification must
be drawn by a representative of Oregon State University for testing in the Oregon State
University Seed Laboratory. The Dean may enter into agreements with appropriate public or
private agencies to assist the Oregon State University Seed Testing Laboratory in the testing
and analysis of seed samples. Probe samples will be taken by Oregon Certification personnel;
automatic samples by approved cross-cut or pelican type samplers will be taken under the
supervision of Oregon Certification personnel. The seed must meet the minimum seed
standards. Lots showing Oregon prohibited weeds must be reconditioned before re-sampled or
blended. All lots must be sampled and tested before blended. The testing costs are in addition
to certification costs.
2.
Seed tests and analytical terms used are in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
Association of Official Seed Analysts.
3.
Tags may be issued upon receipt of either a tetrazolium test or a germination test which meets
Oregon minimum viability standards, providing all other requirements are met. Ryegrass seed
must have a germination and fluorescence before the lot can be tagged. A supplemental test may
be used for tagging purposes.
4.
Specific molecular tests may be used for tagging purposes
5.
For Certification purposes, a recleaned lot can be tagged on the original viability test, but
a follow-up germination should be requested to comply with Federal Seed Laws.
D. Tags, Labels, Seals, and Shipping Certificates
1.
All classes of certified seed when offered for sale shall have an official certification label
affixed to each container clearly identifying the Oregon Seed Certification Service, the
variety name, kind, and class of seed.
2.
Certification tags and labels are only for use on certified seed that is produced in
accordance with the standard rules and regulations established under authority of Oregon
Revised Statute Chapter 633. The tag or label indicates that the seed has passed all of
the inspections and seed tests required by certification rules and regulations.
3.
Certification tags, labels and seals will be affixed to seed containers under the supervision
of the certifying agency.
4. Tags assigned to a given lot must not be attached to a different lot. When a seed lot is reconditioned, certification tags removed from seed containers shall not be re-attached and
shall be returned to the Oregon Seed Certification Service office.
5.
In the case of seed sold by use of a Certificate of Final Certification or Transfer of Seed
Pending Final Certification, the sale must be recorded with the county Extension agent
and the Oregon Seed Certification Service in Corvallis by using the appropriate
Certificate. Information must include: date of sale, variety, class or generation, amount of
seed, lot number, and the name of the buyer. Special forms for this purpose may be
obtained from the county Extension office.
E. Labeling of Mixtures of Certified Seed
When approved by the Certification Office, mixtures of certified seed packaged under the
supervision of the Oregon Seed Certification Service may be labeled with a special blue tag
indicating all components are certified seed.
11
F. Interagency Certification
1.
Interagency certification may be accomplished by participation of more than one official
certifying agency in performing the services required to certify a lot of seed.
a.
The certifying agency issuing labels for all classes of certified seed shall require the
seed on which the labels are used to meet standards at least equal to the minimum
genetic standards for the seed in question as specified in the Federal Seed Act rules
and regulations. Seed that is re-bagged, blended, or put into a mixture of certified
seed for Oregon Interagency Certification must have an all-states noxious weed seed
examination in addition to meeting either, another state’s or Oregon’s certification
field and seed standards, prior to approval.
b.
Seed to be recognized for interagency certification must be received in containers
carrying official certification labels, or if shipped for conditioning, evidence of its
eligibility from another official certifying agency, together with the following
information:
(1) Variety (if certified as to variety) and kind.
(2) Quantity of seed (pounds or bushels).
(3) Class of certified seed.
(4) Inspection or lot number traceable to the previous certifying agency’s
records.
c.
Each label used in interagency certification shall be serially numbered or shall carry
the certification identity number and clearly identify the certifying agencies involved,
the variety (if certified as to variety), kind, and class of certified seed.
G. Complying with Federal and State Seed Laws
Responsibility for meeting requirements of Federal and State Seed Laws in selling or shipping
certified seed rests with the grower and/or seed dealer.
VII. Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Certification Scheme (OECD)
A. OECD is an international program, with membership limited to national governments of
participating countries. The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service has been assigned the
responsibility of implementing the OECD Seed Schemes in the United States, with the
cooperation of official state seed certifying agencies. The Oregon Seed Certification Service,
Oregon State University, is the legally designated authority for OECD certification in Oregon.
B.
The objective of the OECD Seed Schemes is to encourage the exchange of improved varieties
among cooperating nations. Certain rules and principles are followed to maintain varietal
identity and genetic purity.
C.
Grass and legume varieties eligible for OECD certification appear in the OECD List of
Varieties Eligible for Certification. OECD seed stock must be sampled by the Oregon Seed
Certification Service and receive official approval prior to multiplication. Domestic varieties
must meet all Oregon genetic certification requirements, plus any relevant OECD regulations,
in order to be eligible for OECD tagging.
D.
All certified seed produced must be directly related through one or more generations to
Breeder seed. OECD white Basic seed tags denote the OECD equivalent to U.S. Foundation
seed or Registered seed. OECD blue-and red-tagged seed are first-and-second generation
from Basic seed, and are intended for no further seed production.
E.
Satisfactory conditions for the production and conditioning of OECD seed must be verified by
the Oregon Seed Certification Service. All OECD varieties must have a seedling inspection.
In addition, field requirements as listed in the Certification Handbook will be used to govern
field inspections.
F.
The Scheme authorizes the use of labels and certificates for seed produced and conditioned
for international trade. All seed to be tagged must have a certificate of seed analysis prior to
12
tagging. Seed analysis information for OECD certificates will be provided by 1) OSU Seed
Testing Laboratory or 2) other seed testing laboratories that may be recognized by the Dean
and by OECD authorities. Each specific seed lot is issued a reference number, which is
reflected on the tags and certificates. This reference number will be assigned after permission
has been granted from the U.S. registered contractor.
VIII. Fees
A. Field Inspection Fees: Certification fees must be paid at the time of application. Checks must
be made payable to Oregon State University Extension Service, and submitted to the county
Extension office. These fees are periodically adjusted to meet expenses.
B.
1.
Crop inspection fees are assessed each year in which an application is submitted.
Applications received after the deadline will be charged a late fee.
2.
Seedling inspection requires a flat fee, regardless of acreage.
3.
Late applications may not be accepted into the certification program if: a. the crop is past
the stage when a proper inspection can be made; b. the inspection will not fit within the
workload of inspection personnel; or c. for reasons listed in this Handbook.
4.
Special Request: Special out-of-the routine requests will be subject to a fee.
5.
Re-inspection requires a flat fee per field.
6.
In addition to the regular acreage fee, a fee of $60.00 is required for each Pre-Basic,
Basic, Foundation, and Registered field entered for field inspection. If the additional fee is
not paid, the field will be eligible for the Certified Class only.
Additional and Special Fees: These charges are billed by the Oregon Seed Certification
Service directly to the grower or warehouse. Payment for these charges must be sent or
submitted to Seed Certification Service, 31 Crop Science Building, Corvallis, Oregon 973313003.
1.
A per-cwt fee will be charged on all lots sampled by Oregon Seed Certification Service.
2.
Where growers or dealers wish to merchandise certified seed in specially sealed
packages, such as small boxes, plastic, paper or cloth bags, or in other distinctive
packages weighing 25 pounds or less, or in cases where special tags or seals must be
devised, or where the labor of sealing and tagging such packages involves greater cost,
special fees shall be charged to cover the extra expense.
3.
Advance tagging of seed lots is permitted when preliminary seed test results meet Oregon
Certification Standards. Advance tagging for Annual and Perennial ryegrass seed lots is
done at the full risk of the individual and/or seed contractor. Refer to current procedures.
4.
Early Sampling and tagging of Annual and Perennial ryegrass seed lots is permitted under
certain conditions. Early sampling and tagging of Annual and Perennial ryegrass seed
lots is done at the full risk of the individual and/or seed contractor. Refer to current
procedures.
C.
Refunds and Adjustments: All fees for overpayment or duplicate charges will be refunded.
Other fees paid where a grower decides not to harvest his crop for seed, and so notifies the
local county Extension agent before seedling and field inspections are made, will be refunded
upon written request by the seed grower (a special request charge will be withheld for
processing). None of the acreage fee will be refunded if the acreage is rejected at the time of
inspection.
D.
Stock Material Fees: Foundation Seed Program will charge such fees as necessary to
purchase or produce stock material in sufficient amounts to assure a continuing supply of
basic material for the certified grower of Oregon.
13
IX. Definitions
A. Isolation Zone: The area of a certified field representing the isolation requirement for a given
crop. (See Section IV D, for instructions to calculate the isolation zone.) Isolation problems
must be staked after sign-up.
B.
Off-Type: Any seed or plant not a part of the variety in that it deviates in one or more
characteristics from the variety as described and may include seeds or plants of other
varieties; seeds or plants not necessarily any variety; seed or plants resulting from
uncontrolled self-pollination during production of hybrid seed, or segregates from any of the
above plants.
C.
None or Zero Tolerance: None or zero means none found visually during the normal
inspection procedures. Zero or none is not a guarantee to mean the field or seed lot inspected
is free of the factor.
D.
Seed Tests and Analytical terms used in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
Association of Official Seed Analysts and Oregon Seed Certification:
1.
AOSA Seed Test: Is the test required for determining the seed quality of certified seed for
either Oregon or OECD tagging.
2.
AOSA-EC: Is an AOSA seed test performed utilizing sample weight specified by ISTA
rules and examined for EC Norms. Seed lots tested in this manner are eligible for OECD
tags with “Meets EC Norms and Standards” printed on the tags. Must be requested at the
time of sampling.
3.
Ammonia Test: Is a test required to determine presence of other fine fescue species in
Blue fescue, Hard fescue & Sheep fescue and is done automatically on certified samples.
4.
Dodder Exam: A 500 gram sample of alfalfa and red clover is required to be examined for
the presence of dodder and is done automatically on certified samples.
5.
Ploidy Test: A test used to establish the ploidy level in grass varieties to assist in
determining certification eligibility. A ploidy test should be requested at the time of
sampling.
6.
Molecular Test: These are tests of either nucleic acid or proteins in plant cells. The tests
are related to specific genes controlling plant characteristics that are used for certification
purposes. These marker tests may be used for trait presence verification or as genetic
identity tests.
7.
Allelic Discrimination Test: In ryegrasses, an allelic discrimination (A/D) test may be used
in lieu of an AOSA Grow-out test to separate annual and perennial ryegrass types for
certified samples.
E.
Oregon Seed Lot Size: The maximum seed lot size is 55,000 pounds for bentgrass,
bluegrass, smooth brome, fescue, meadow foxtail, orchardgrass, ryegrass (annual & perennial
and Wimmera), timothy, wheatgrass, clover and vetch. A tolerance of 5% is permitted on this
maximum.
F.
Other Bentgrass Species: A 500 seed separation test for other bentgrass species will be done
on any bentgrass seed sample where other bentgrass species are observed.
G.
OECD Seed Lot Size: For seeds the size of wheat, or larger, one seed lot shall not exceed
44,000 pounds. For seeds smaller than a kernel of wheat, the seed lot shall not exceed 22,000
pounds. Grass seed lots of Poaceae species may have a maximum size of 55,000 pounds if
produced according to international methods. A tolerance of 5 percent on these maxima is
permissible.
14
H.
The Plant Variety Protection Act: Every certificate of plant variety protection shall certify that
the breeder (or his successor in interest) or his heirs or assignees, has the right, during the
term of the plant variety protection, to exclude others from selling the variety, or offering it for
sale, or reproducing it, or importing it, or using it in producing (as distinguished from
developing) a hybrid or different variety there from, to the extent provided by this Act. If the
owner so elects, the certificate shall also specify that in the United States, seed of the variety
shall be sold by variety name only as a class of certified seed and, if specified, shall also
conform to the number of generations designated by the owner.
I.
Title V of the Federal Seed Act: Sale of Uncertified Seed of Protected Variety, Sec. 501,
states: “It shall be unlawful, in the United States or in interstate or foreign commerce to sell by
variety name seed not certified by an official seed certifying agency when it is a variety for
which a certificate of plant variety protection under the Plant Variety Protection Act specifies
sale only as a class of certified seed: provided, that seed from a certified lot may be labeled
as to variety name when used in a mixture by, or with approval of the owner of the variety.”
X. Disclaimer of Warranty
The Oregon State University Seed Certification Service expressly represents that it has acted in
accordance with those standards and procedures established for seed certification in Oregon. The
issuance of a certified seed label or certificate for a lot of seed neither warrants that any other person or
entity has acted in accordance with such standards and procedures, nor constitutes any other warranty,
express or implied, including merchantability or fitness for purpose or otherwise which extends
beyond the certification that the seeds inspected met the regulations of the agency.

CERTIFICATION STANDARDS
ALFALFA
(Medicago sativa)
Revised February 15, 1994
Certification Standards: The general standards for seed certification found in the Oregon Seed Certification
Service (OSCS) Handbook are basic to all crops, and together with the following specific regulations constitute the
certified Alfalfa standards.
Varieties Certified: Varieties and classes eligible for planting may be found in the OSCS Handbook.
Field History: Land must be free from volunteer Alfalfa before planting for at least 4 years to produce Foundation
seed, for at least 3 years to produce Registered seed, and for at least 1 year to produce Certified seed. At least two
years must elapse between destruction of indistinguishable varieties or varieties of dissimilar adaptation and
establishment of the stand for the production of the certified class of seed. Dissimilar adaptation will be determined
as a difference of four or more fall dormancy values between that of the previous variety and the variety being
planted. Fall dormancy values will be determined from descriptions prepared by the breeder for accepted varieties.
(See General Standards Section IV C for further details). With Registered and Certified fields, the time interval
between harvest and new planting must be one year if the previous crop was of the same variety and generation.
Alfalfa must be planted in distinct rows. Exceptions must be approved by the Seed Certification Office prior to
planting.
Field Inspections: Include a seedling and a seed crop inspection. For fields planted prior to January 1 the seedling
application must be submitted within 60 days of planting. For fields planted between January 1 and July 1 the
seedling application must be submitted within 15 days of planting. The seed crop application must be submitted by
June 15 of each year in which seed is produced.

For Certified class only: When the isolation zone (which is calculated by multiplying the length of the common border
with varieties of Alfalfa by the average width of the Certified field falling within 165 ft. isolation distance requirement) is
less than 10% for the entire field, no isolation is required.

FIELD BEAN
(Phaseolus vulgaris)
Certification Standards: The general rules for seed certification found in the Oregon Seed Certification Service
(OSCS) Handbook are basic to all crops, and together with the following specific regulations constitute the certified
Field bean standards.
Field History: A field of beans planted for the production of foundation, registered, or certified classes of seed must
not have been planted to or have grown a crop of beans for one year unless the previous crop passed certification
field requirements of the same or higher generation. Any field on which Bacterial Blight has been found will not be
eligible to grow a class of certified seed until it has been cropped two years to crops other than beans (Phaseolus
sp.), soybeans, lupines, or cowpeas. Beans must be planted in distinct rows. Exceptions must be approved by the
Seed Certification Office prior to planting.
Field Inspections: Each field intended for certification must be inspected two times during the harvest year, one of
which must be at the windrow stage. Any condition which prevents adequate inspection may be cause for rejection.
The final sign-up deadline is June 1 of each year. Applications for fields planted after this date must be filed within 15
days of planting.
Isolation: Each variety must be separated by a 10-foot strip from another variety unless a specific variety requires
additional isolation distance.

CRIMSON CLOVER
(Trifolium incarnatum)
certified Crimson clover standards.
Field History: Land must not have grown or been seeded to any Crimson Clover during the previous five years to be
eligible to produce Foundation seed; during the previous three years to produce Registered seed. Land must not
have grown or been seeded to Crimson Clover during the previous two years to produce Certified seed, unless the
crop was of the same variety and certified. Crimson clover must be planted in distinct rows. Exceptions must be
approved by the Seed Certification Office prior to planting.
If Foundation seed is planted, one Registered seed crop and two Certified seed crops may be harvested.
If Registered seed is planted, two consecutive Certified seed crops may be harvested.
Field Inspections: Include a seedling and a seed crop inspection. The seedling application must be submitted
within 60 days of planting, and a seed crop application must be submitted by April 15 of each year in which seed is
produced.

The following isolation rules may be applicable to Kentucky bluegrass fields to reduce isolation requirements: (a) The 10% Rule for
Certified class fields ≥5 acres, when the isolation zone is less than 10% of the field [use 15 ft. to calculate the area of the isolation
zone]; (b) Border Removal for fields ≥5 acres [for varieties <80% apomictic, see Section IV, D; for varieties ≥80% apomictic, 9 feet of
border removal within the field can reduce isolation to 30 ft. for Foundation and 15 ft. for Registered; no further reduction is allowed
for Certified class]; and (c) The 25% Rule for isolation between generations of the same variety.

INDUSTRIAL HEMP
(Cannabis sativa L.)
Certification Standards: The general standards for seed certification found in the Oregon Seed Certification Service (OSCS)
Handbook are basic to all crops and, together with the following specific regulations, constitute the certified Industrial Hemp
standards.
Varieties Certified: Only varieties approved for production by Federal or local regulatory authorities may be eligible for seed
1
certification. Varieties may represent the following types : Monoecious, with male and female flowers on the same plant; Dioecious,
with male and female flowers on separate plants; and (unisexual female) Hybrids, with sterile male and fertile female flowers on the
same plant.
Field History: To produce Foundation and Registered seed, land must not have grown or been seeded to any Cannabis sp.,
Hops or Tobacco during the previous five years, for Certified seed three years, unless the previous crop was of the same variety
and certified. Hemp must be planted in distinct rows. OSCS must approve exceptions prior to planting.
Field Inspections: Three inspections may be required depending on the variety type and production generation; at least two
inspections are required prior to seed harvest. The first inspection occurs before female (pistillate) flowers of the crop are receptive
and after the formation of male (staminate) flowers, preferably before pollen is shed; the second inspection occurs during the
receptive stage of female plants, normally within 3 weeks after first inspection; the third inspection, if necessary, occurs when offtype female flowers can be identified. The field application must be submitted within 60 days of planting, and a seed crop application
must be submitted by April 15 of each year in which seed is produced.

Special notes:
A. Greenhouse production – For certification purposes, a greenhouse will be identified as a single “field.”
B. Growers may be required by Federal or local regulations to obtain THC test results from a recognized laboratory verifying that
the THC content of their Industrial Hemp crop complies with applicable regulations. Growers may be required to submit these
results to OSCS to complete seed certification
1
Although traditionally a crop with a Dioecious plant type, many Monoecious varieties of hemp have been developed. Hemp is
sexually polymorphic and often produces many different ratios of intersexual plant types that can increase rogueing requirements.
Variety descriptions normally define these ratios.
2
Maximum impurities allowed per 10,000 plants; applied as an average of six counts involving at least 10,000 plants each. Includes
off-types or other varieties.
3
If Dioecious male plants start flowering before removal from field, all plants around them should be destroyed for a radius of 10 feet
for Foundation and 7 feet for Registered seed crops.

For Registered and Certified classes, these requirements are waived if the previous crop was of the same variety, same or
higher class and certified. Modified Land History provisions apply to this crop (see OSCS General Standards IV, C. Land
Requirements #2), which can reduce the period following a previous Annual ryegrass or Festulolium 2x/4x crop to three
years for conventional tillage practices and two years if a continuous no-till MLH option is used. PLEASE NOTE: If the two
year out no-till MLH option is used, an Annual ryegrass crop planted the following two years must also be no-till to qualify for
certification. Annual ryegrass must be planted in distinct rows. Exceptions must be approved by the Seed Certification
Office prior to planting.

SMALL GRAINS
Revised: February 16, 2016
Certification Standards: general standards for seed certification found in the Oregon Seed Certification Service
Small Grain standards.
Field History: For Foundation Seed - Land must not have been seeded to, grown and/or harvested for a small
grain variety of the same kind (for example, Wheat to Wheat) for two years; land must be 3 years out of Triticale prior
to producing a Foundation class of Wheat. For Registered & Certified Seed - Land must not have been seeded to,
grown and/or harvested for a small grain of the same kind (for example, Wheat to Wheat) for at least 12 months.
Where an indistinguishable variety of small grain of the same kind was grown between the previous 12 and 24 month
period, a seedling inspection is necessary on all new cereal plantings (for example, Stephens to ORCF-101 Wheat).
If the previous crop was of the same variety and passed certification field standards for varietal purity at the same or
higher generation, then the above time intervals are not necessary. Where a distinguishable variety of small grain of
the same kind was grown between the previous 12 and 24 month period, no seedling inspection is necessary on new
plantings of cereals (for example, Yamhill to Stephens Wheat). All Seed Classes - Land must not have been used
for livestock feeding of cereal hay for the previous two years. Small grains must be planted in distinct rows.
Exceptions must be approved by the Seed Certification Office prior to planting.
Application and Field Inspections: Application for seedling inspection must be submitted within 60 days of fall
planting (or earlier, if row closure is expected to occur rapidly), or within 15 days of spring planting. Application for
crop inspection must be submitted by April 15 for small grains planted on or before January 31; for plantings after
January 31, the deadline is June 1, or within 15 days of planting, whichever occurs last. Crop inspection will be
completed after plant and head maturity show specific variety distinguishing characteristics. Stock seed
documentation shall be either: (1) all original certification tags, (2) one original certification tag for each lot and a copy
of the sales invoice [showing the receiver, variety and crop, poundage, lot number(s), generation, and date of sale],
or (3) Certificate of Final Certification. Volunteer fields are not eligible for seed certification.

2
No Cereal rye allowed in or out of count during seed crop inspection, except in the Certified class of Triticale and then not
to exceed 1:20,000; further, no re-inspection is allowed in the Foundation class of small grains.
3
No Triticale allowed in “other small grains” in or out of the inspection count in any class of small grain; further, no reinspection is allowed in the Foundation class of Wheat.
4
For a list of chemically controllable cereal smuts, see Pacific Northwest Plant Disease Control Handbook.
52
A. An extremely weedy field, regardless of type of weeds present, will be rejected. In Foundation fields, no seed
may be allowed to form of species listed either as ‘Prohibited in all Oregon Certified Seeds’ (see Sec. V, this
Handbook) or listed as prohibited in the Small Grains Seed Standards. Other provisions in the Small Grain standards
regarding Cereal rye, Jointed goatgrass and Skeletonweed take precedence.
B. Isolation (Wheat, Oat, or Barley – self pollinating cereal crops) – (1) Adjacent fields of different cereal crop kinds,
or different classes of the same variety, must be isolated by a distance adequate to prevent mechanical mixing. (2)
Adjacent fields of different varieties of the same kind must be isolated 90 feet for Foundation production, or 10 feet for
Registered or Certified production.
C. Isolation (Cereal rye) — All classes of Rye must be isolated 660 feet from other varieties of Rye. Fields of the
same variety but of a different generation must be isolated by a distance of 25 percent of that listed between
varieties.
D. Isolation (Triticale) — Foundation class must be isolated 90 feet from other varieties of triticale, Registered and
Certified, 10 feet. Fields of the same variety but different generations must be isolated by a mechanical break.
Triticale must be isolated 10 feet from all other small grains.
E. Mechanical separations, genetic isolation zones, and other excluded areas of a seed field must be designated by
physical markings placed in the field that are easily observed and readily recognized to be designating a boundary.
See also: http://seedcert.oregonstate.edu/sites/default/files/publications/guidelines/smallgrainsisolation.pdf
F. Evidence of seed-borne disease at the time of field inspection or presence of seed-borne disease in the seed lot
may constitute basis for rejection, reclassification or recommendation for seed treatment. Evidence of ergot found
during field inspection will be noted in the inspection report.
G. If chemically controllable seedborne diseases are noted upon field inspection or Laboratory examination,
appropriate seed treatment, to be determined by Seed Certification Office is required.
H. Transfer of seed may be documented using one of several shipping certificates available at the OSCS website:
(1) Field Transfer Certificate, to move in-the-dirt seed from farm storage to an out-of-state warehouse.
(2) Transfer of Presampled Seed Certificate, to move seed (usually for planting), prior to availability of an OSU
Seed Lab test number. Note: Go to “Create Online Seed Sample Certificate,” enter required specifications and
obtain a two-digit “Presample Certificate Number.” (For details, see online under Crop Information – Cereals,
“Documentation for Bulk Shipment of Small Grains.
(3) Transfer of Seed Pending Final Certification, to move seed following availability of the test number and
prior to completion of testing.
(4) Certificate of Final Certification, to move seed following completion of testing and setting eligibility for
tagging. Previously prepared documents for Transfer of Presampled Seed and for Transfer of Seed Pending
Final Certification can be finalized with a Certificate of Final Certification. Seed previously documented with a
Certificate of Final Certification for transfer from one approved warehouse to another for further distribution, can
be further documented with Certificates of Final Certification. Seed is not officially and finally certified until it has
been tagged, or documented by a Certificate of Final Certification.
I. No re-inspection is allowed if Jointed goatgrass, and/or its hybrids, or Skeletonweed is found in the seedling,
seed crop, or seed test inspection.
J. Reseeding with another variety or lower generation within a field applied for certification will necessitate that the
boundaries of the certified portion be redrawn to completely exclude reseeded areas. Application for a seedling
inspection is required to verify that the certified portion is free of contamination from the reseeding and properly
isolated from the reseeded areas(s).
K. Bagged Foundation or Registered cereal seed must be in new bags; bagged Certified class seed must be in new
or cleaned used bags.
L. Clearfield Trait Testing for wheat varieties that contain the Clearfield herbicide resistance trait:
1. Each seed lot will be required to meet the minimum trait standard as defined by the trait owner, and specified
in the variety description. The minimum Clearfield trait standard for the 2011 and future harvest seasons will be 92%
as based on the Clearfield Confirm Assay, subject to modification by the trait owner. Results from either the Clearfield
Confirm Assay or PCR testing will be considered for the intent of satisfying this provision; minimum PCR test result to
be determined by BASF. All sampling and testing procedures will follow standard OSCS policy, and OSCS will make
final determination of seed lot eligibility. OSCS may monitor this program through requests of additional or larger
tests. Seed stock documentation for field applications must include Clearfield Confirm Assay or PCR test results
indicating the seed stock has also met the minimum requirement.
2. OSCS will require a signed affidavit from the grower of record verifying that certified seed production fields
have been sprayed according to the Clearfield Wheat Seed Production Guidelines.
M. Seed from a field in another state, that is contracted by an Oregon Seed Certification Service client, and has
passed field inspection for certification and moved to Oregon with a transfer/shipping certificate from the state of
origin, may be commingled with an Oregon seed lot of the same variety with OSCS field blend approval, a fee will
apply. Additional testing for noxious weed seeds (500 grams per million pounds, or part thereof) is required. The
commingled lot must meet Oregon requirements for final certification. This provision is allowed only at warehouses
that have an approved, operating automatic sampler.
53
Seed Standards: (Minimum Submitted Sample Size -- 2 Pounds. All Wheat, Barley, and Triticale seed lots will be
tested for seeds per pound and reported on the OSU Report of Seed Analysis. Treated cereal seed will not be
accepted by the OSU Seed Laboratory for purity testing.) No Retests Permitted.
